The chaotic battle ended because a group of black-clothed soldiers broke in suddenly. Yuewei, who was already almost unable to hold on, fell to the ground almost immediately, but Axia, who was firmly in his arms, was not injured at all. .

—whatever.

Yuewei thought almost desperately.

With just the two of them, it would be very difficult to deal with the thugs in the auction house just now, let alone these well-armed and well-trained human fighters.It's just... no matter what... even if he kills A-Xia, he can't let the child fall into the hands of those beasts and become a plaything.

Thinking of this, Yue Wei stood up unsteadily again, clenched a dagger that he snatched from someone in the chaos, and looked fiercely at the soldiers in black uniforms.

However, those soldiers did not pay attention to them who were originally in the center of chaos.

Yuewei was shocked to see that the soldiers were like ferocious tigers and wolves pushing all the people in the auction house to the ground. If they resisted, they would be beaten severely, and some people were shot to death from time to time.Even those dignitaries who were dressed luxuriously and seemed to be of extraordinary status around them were arrested mercilessly. Some screamed, some ran away, and some yelled things like "My father is Minister XXX", but they all were treated exactly the same.

Only the three of them who were still standing on the high platform seemed to be forgotten by everyone, leaving Yuewei who was ready to go and didn't know what to do.

Mu Xiaohu, who was also very nervous at first, seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he even stretched his neck eagerly, as if he was looking for someone.Seeing Yuewei's worried face, he smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, if I'm not wrong... Well, it should be someone I know who came, and he will definitely not hurt us."

Yuewei looked at this ordinary-looking boy with a bright smile. Although he didn't know the identity of this person, he felt that he could trust him for no reason... This person should be different from that waiter, right?

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "You... who are you? Why did you save me?"

Mu Xiaohu laughed and said, "When you see injustice, you draw your sword to help. Do you need a reason? My name is Mu Xiaohu, what's your name?"

"... Yuewei." Yuewei said softly, "This is my sister, Axia."

"Hello, A-Xia. Oh, that's right!" Mu Xiaohu suddenly remembered something, reached out his hand to feel in his pocket, finally took out a few colorful candies, handed them to A-Xia and said: "This is for you, it's very sweet! I brought it from...uh... from a far away place."

Axia held the candy in his hand, but didn't eat it, but looked at the beautiful color and pattern, which was very novel, then held the fortress to Yuewei with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Delicious... Brother... brother eat."

At this time, Mu Xiaohu saw a thin figure walking in from the door, he waved his hands happily and shouted: "Brother Lin! Brother Lin!"

Seeing that Lin Qingsi was intact and intact, and walked in from the door safely, thinking that the most important goal of his trip had finally been achieved, Mu Xiaohu was filled with joy. Seeing Lin Qingsi, who was actually quite unfamiliar Everyone feels very kind at the moment.

Lin Qingsi looked up at him, somewhat speechless in his heart.

He had seen Mu Xiaohu disguised himself from surveillance before, and he was thinking of how to expose his identity, but he didn't need him to test anything, as soon as Mu Xiaohu showed up, he jumped out.And... Brother Lin?

When did they become so close?

But on the surface, Lin Qingsi did not show any abnormality, as if he had agreed to call Mu Xiaohu a long time ago, he nodded slightly in this direction, and then listened to the people in charge around him reporting the arrest result.Because of his attitude, many cold-faced soldiers around secretly looked at Mu Xiaohu out of the corner of their eyes, speculating in their hearts about his relationship with their own officers.

Mu Xiaohu calmed down, patted Yuewei on the shoulder, and said carelessly, "Look, it's all right."

Yuewei also felt relieved.Although these people are all celestial beings, but at the moment they feel more trustworthy than those of the same kind.He thought for a while and said to Mu Xiaohu: "I...I want to meet someone, I wonder if you can talk to these people?"

…………

A group of people in white uniforms knelt together, their hands were tied behind their backs, and their silver-white masks had been torn off a long time ago and thrown aside. Many of them were still covered in blood because of their fierce resistance before.But their demeanor is very peaceful, as if they are not covered in bruises and being pointed at by someone with a gun, but sitting on the sofa in their own living room. People have a sense of creepiness.

Yuewei found the envoy who had vowed to help him before. He was shot in one leg and had to lean half against the wall to kneel.Under the mask is a heroic face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. It looks like the legendary young knight who is unrestrained, righteous, and full of blood. Who knows that he can betray and frame others without changing his face?

He didn't show any guilt when he saw Yuewei. Instead, he seemed to be a little regretful, and even said with some blame: "Are you okay? Are these people here to help you?"

Yuewei looked at him for a moment, then said in a shy voice, "...why?"

The messenger asked with some doubts, "Why?"

"Why did you betray me? If you didn't intend to help me, why didn't you explain it at the beginning? Could it be that what you told me...are all false?"

He still remembered that he chased and killed the servants who captured A-Xia all the way to the capital city. He lived and slept all the way, suffered from hunger and cold, and suffered some injuries that never healed. He suddenly fainted when he tracked down here.It was this person who picked him up, fed him, applied medicine for him, and offered to help him without hesitation after hearing about him.

He once vowed to take revenge on mankind, and he was the one who wanted to save his nephew with love, but he suddenly turned around and pushed himself and Asha almost into hell.

Yue Wei didn't know which sentence he said was true and which sentence was false.He wanted to ask an answer, but he didn't know what kind of answer he expected.

The messenger smiled slightly after hearing his words, as if laughing at his stupidity.

"Of course it's false." He said with a slight smile on his face: "Those words are just to gain your trust. As long as the master needs it, I am willing to give my life to him. How can I betray him? But you, really It shouldn't be done."

"What about your nephew?" Yuewei lowered his voice angrily, "That child... that child is so similar to you, even if he is not your relative, he must be your family! You just watched him fall into the hands of those people? Did you really not think about saving him?"

A trace of struggle flashed across the messenger's face very quickly, but then his expression became firm again, and he said: "It is a supreme honor and happiness to be the slave of the master and other great figures of the Celestial-Human Race. I am doing it for him. Well, I can’t let you take him away! Not only him, but even you, I really care about you and want to help you! Don’t be so resistant to your fate, believe me, being a slave is not what you think It's so scary, the master will treat you very well, and this is the only way for us to be happy and free! I sincerely hope that you can become our companion, and that you can also be happy!"

Looking at the almost illusory smile on his face, and seeing the almost identical smiles of other messengers, Yuewei felt that he was going crazy!His hands trembled uncontrollably, and his lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing the smiles on the faces of the envoy and others, Yue Wei knew that it would be useless to say anything, these people's true selves had already disappeared. Completely dead, in front of his eyes are just a group of breathing puppets!

——Think about it too, if it is not completely sure of controlling these people, how can the auction let these dangerous species that can disembowel humans with just their hands get close to those noble people?

only……

After leaving the wasteland, Yuewei thought that he had seen all the sinister and miserable scenes in the world, and thought that among all the alien races, those who lived in the sewers and garbage dumps were the worst.But only now did he realize that the people in front of them with good looks and seemingly excellent living conditions were the greatest tragedy in the world.

Yue Wei didn't want to say anything anymore, he picked up A Xia and turned around to leave.Mu Xiaohu, who was talking to Lin Qingsi, saw it and hurriedly turned around to follow.

"Yuewei, Yuewei, where are you going?" Mu Xiaohu shouted from afar.

Yuewei turned to look at him, and said coldly: "Can't I go? Do you want to turn me into a slave too?"

Many soldiers who were busy around looked over with cold eyes.

"Ah?" Mu Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then scratched his hair and said, "No! But it's very chaotic outside now, where are you going with A-Xia?"

"I……"

Yuewei really wanted to say that you don't need to worry about it, but Axia's soft body is held in his arms. He can eat and sleep in the open air, can be exposed to the rain and sun, and can also fight with bad guys. After a while, he would wish to kill himself.

The boy was speechless, the corners of his mouth tensed.Because of what happened to those messengers, he was full of hatred for all human beings, and even got angry at the young man in front of him.But at the same time, his rationality made him understand that what he did was not correct. The young man had indeed been kind to him since they met. He was able to stand here and walk freely instead of being caught by those black-clothed soldiers. The reason why the young man is kind to him.

After a moment of embarrassing silence, Mu Xiaohu seemed to have figured it out, and took the initiative to apologize, saying: "I'm sorry! Humans have done such terrible things to alien races, you must be very sad and angry right now? I didn't think of this just now, really sorry!"

Yue Wei pursed her lips, stubbornly not speaking.Perhaps it was because he had no confidence, so he defended his dignity and pride even more, even if he felt guilty, he was unwilling to show the slightest weakness.

"Brother Lin said that anyone who has done something wrong will have to pay the price. He also promised to find a way to find all the children who were sold in the auction house and let them return to their parents. So even if you resent Other humans, but Brother Lin and the others can be trusted. Let’s stay here for now, and bring Axia back when the situation stabilizes.”

Mu Xiaohu said sincerely.Although he knew in his heart that Lin Qingsi must not have made such a promise purely for reasons of justice, but even if he had other calculations, so what?Many people who have suffered in the past can benefit from this process. In Mu Xiaohu's view, this is the most important thing.

After hesitating for a while, Yuewei finally nodded and agreed.
